“Nagas in the Battle of Kohima” is a short video on the roles played by the Nagas in the Burma Campaign and particularly in the Battle of Kohima during the 2nd World War. Although all the Nagas were affected by the War, the video focuses on those in the frontlines, the Naga veterans, which no one has done till now.

Naga "A cry for Freedom"

Nagas, a self-ruled tribal nation, never surrendered their country to any power. They retained their self-rule despite the fact that the British imperialists partially occupied their land after fierce battle. But later on the Nagas became the victims of the British and its successors' (india) betrayal. The British, to meet its imperialist needs, merged some of its portion to British Myanmar and India. When the British left this part of the world, India and Myanmar, ignoring Naga aspiration and demand for independence, illegally occupied whole of Nagaland, something the British never tried to occupy. Such illegal occupation sharpened their struggle for Independent Nagalim and their spirit persists despite heavy sacrifice.

Nagaland full documentary. || History of Nagas.

Naga history filmed by Christoph von furer-haimendorf in 1970. The Nagas have never considered themselves part of India. On August 14, 1947, one day before India and Pakistan gained independence, Naga leaders in the Naga National Council (NNC) declared their independence over a chunk of land in far northeast India that became known as Nagaland. Even so India asserted authority over the small state. The Nagas never agreed to join India, and they have been fighting for independence ever since, with both China and Pakistan reportedly at various times supplying the Nagas with arms. India assimilated Nagaland in 1952, The Nagas responded by boycotting India-imposed elections. Civil disobedience tactics were used in 1953 but achieved little . An armed struggle began in 1955. Some 4,000 Indian troops were called into the area to put down the uprising, in some cases fighting Naga tribesmen armed with slings, and bows and arrows. In 1956. the NNC declared the creation of the Federal Government of Nagaland. The Naga Peoples Convention demanded statehood. To quiet the Naga independence movement, India made Nagaland a self-governing state in 1963, but restricted access by foreigners. Violence continued. A peace commission sponsored by the Baptist church was formed and a cease between the government of India and Nagaland federal government was declared in May 1964. The cease-fire lasted until September 1972 after an assassination attempt was made on the India-installed chief minister of Nagaland and the Indian government declared an end to the cease-fire and banned the NNC. Violence continued until the Shillong Accord was signed by the Indian government and the Nagaland federal government in November 1975. Beginning in 1975, Nagaland was ruled under "presidential rule" by the Indian government. Pockets of resistance continued but were small and isolated. There were reports of separatists being trained in China and Pakistan. A small resistance movement existed in exile in Burma in the 1980s. Violence still and calls for more autonomy appear from time to time.
